    Think with Kavanagh they needed him off the wage bill, on big money by all accounts and the other three just weren't upto it but city need two strikers in quick or there gonna get sucked deep into a relegation battle.

    We are indeed .it looks like a very worrying end to the season for city.

    I don't think Tommy is cut out for premier division management at all .

    I beg your pardon? Christ, we were looking at him pre season, is he not getting game time at all these last few months? I think he was one of the last to re-sign, was he not?

    There was rumours before the season that Ventre was supposedly moving to Harps. He's not getting a lot of game time at Sligo and a loan move would be good for him. Athlone are on the up, and a push for promotion might get him back into the swing of things.

    Acted the maggot with regard to his contract - tried to sign while injured and now can't get a game. Won't get into the side ahead of Cawley and won't get a contract next year so he might as well move. Had a terrific season last year but that was his first decent season.

    Ventre got injured while on trial in England in our off season. Has not been the same player since. It flared up again a couple of months back. He is back training with us again but he has a lot of work to do between now and the end of the season if he has any thoughts of getting a contract next year.

    Apparently Kavanagh had a few bust ups with Dunne and that's why Cork are letting him go.

    There has been a mixed reaction among Pats fans about the signing, I'm personally a big fan of his. I just hope he is not coming in to replace Forrester who could be gone by the end of August.
    Here on a technicality.

    I really don't get all the hype over Forrester. Anytime I've seen him play he's never stood out as someone who could make it a a higher level. Few nice goals and fancy flicks every so often but have never really seen him play a consistently high standard (yes I do realise that if he stays he'll score the goal to win the league against us at towards the end of the season........)

    He has great potential though. Just look how well Paddy Madden, Shaun Williams and Kevin Dawson have done in the lower leagues. He could head over to league one or championship and really improve in my opinion. If Conor Sammon can make so can Forrester.

    Agree with ya there, maybe he needs to bulk up a little though.

    I used to think that as well but I think he's just one of those rake-thin guys who's actually quite strong, eg Peter Crouch. We all played against them in school, lads who are 90% elbows.

    He's been plagued with a leg injury most of this year. Still as good a defensive midfielder in this league as anyone else on his day.

    Far, far too good for the First.

    He flew into Knock, took the wrong turn.
